Are you the Jaeger meister? It's time to bring home the robot versus monster brawl of the year, and for one of you, it'll be completely free. All you have to do is indulge in the kind of wild fanboy speculation you'd totally do anyway.

To enter, here's what you do:

First, you need to have a commenter account with an email address attached. They're free. I won't contact you for any reason other than if you're the winner.

Got one? Good. Then in comments below, I want you to imagine the following scenario:

Pacific Rim director Guillermo del Toro has a penchant for announcing a lot of future projects, many of which never come to be. From At the Mountains of Madness to a new Hulk TV show, he has been attached to many dream projects that may or may not happen. Now: imagine he can only make ONE more movie, but you are the producer, and you will give him an unlimited amount of cash to do whatever he wants. What would that project be? Who would you cast? What's the storyline? It can be an actual project he's talked about (Justice League Dark, maybe), one you'd just like to see him do (why not Thundercats?), or even something totally frivolous (Ron Perlman IS Senhor Testiculo!). The only limit is your imagination.

This contest will close at 11:59 p.m. Pacific time on Oct. 17th. The prize cannot be shipped to a P.O. box. Also, because Warner Bros. is doing multiple giveaways like this, here's some legalese:

Each household is only eligible to win 1 Pacific Rim Blu-Ray via blog reviews and giveaways. Only one entrant per mailing address per giveaway. If you have won the same prize on another blog, you will not be eligible to win it again. Winner is subject to eligibility verification.

Guillermo Del Toro has proven to be a big kid and few other series have been as prevalent to kids in the last 20 years than the power rangers and it just so happens there is a project with potential and appeal that will likely never get picked up in a green ranger movie...

but ohhhh the potential if Del Toro could come in with an unlimited budget. aliens, giant robots, mystical overlord villains, bizarre sometimes grotesque monsters, and a brilliant emerald hero with a dark past.

he could go anywhere he wants with the film from a creepy horror movie where tommy is trapped trying to survive a night of terror, or a pacific rim robo beatdown as he tries to save angel grove and figure out lord zed and rita's plan to destroy the world.

...This is almost impossible, since paulke.go pretty much got it right in the beginning: I wouldn't want to tie Del Toro down with an adaptation or remake of some kind, I'd want him to do something wholly original, because it's what he excels at & it's what the film world needs.

But since paulke already beat me to that, I guess the next best thing would be to find an animated or live-action short that holds a lot of promise & showcases a strange, unique, & exciting world that could possibly benefit from stretched out, & see Del Toro work his magic on it. Fenrir immediately springs to mind for me, maybe Noiseman Sound Insect, possibly NOON(although that was more a preview of a script for a larger movie), even if the former two probably definitely work better in 2D...actually, Del Toro working with animation? Would that be a good idea...

A movie based on the comic book about FDA agent Tony Chu working the mean streets trying to stop the flow of deadly chicken. Tony Chu one of the most powerful Cibopaths on the planet with his partner a cyborg John Colby they work to uncover a conspiracy involving a weird alien fruit found only on a tiny island called Yamapalu.

After years of legal battles, Guillermo del Toro announces the much anticipated film adaptation of japanese manga Akira. However due to the lukewarm reception of Pacific Rim by american audiences, two versions of the film will be released; The international cut, that features japanese actors Kazato Tomizawa, Yuya Ozeki and Seishiro Kato as the titular Akira, and The American cut, a humorous westernized take on the source material (adapted by Family guy´s creator Seth Macfarlane) featuring Hollywood´s top teen actors: Channing Tatum, Robert Pattinson, and Shia Labeouf.

More than anything else, I would love Del Toro to do an anthology film of fairy tales. Not the modern versions that we read today, and definitely not some 'updated-for-2013-Jack-the-Giant-Slayer/Snow-White-and-the-Huntsmen' bullshit. I want Del Toro to go back to the source and make films based off the original endings for these grim tales and filmed with his visual panache.

Fairy Tales in the Anthology:

The Little Mermaid - Imagine the mermaids and how bizarre and alien they would look!=

Beauty and the Beast - Not much different than what we know now, but with no singing teapots and an amazing look Del Toro creation (played by Doug Jones, natch) as the Beast

The Water Nixie - Children are enslaved by a water creature living at the bottom of a well, they manage to escape, but are hounded by the Nixie until they finally get away.

The Story of a Boy Who Went Forth to Learn Fear - A lesser known fairy tale about a boy who is too dumb to feel fear, and goes on a series of increasingly macabre quests to try and learn it. The story culminates in a haunted castle where all sorts of foul things happen to him.

seaQuest: Pacific. Staring Roy Scheider and the ghost of Jonathan Brandis. The crew of seaQuest enters the Pacific Rim, is transported through time, abducted by aliens and teaches a dolphin to talk. The summer blockbuster no one knew they wanted.

The Maxx. Traveling constantly between a dark and gritty real world to a bright fantasy land of monsters. A mysterious child molester/wizard. A hero that is either a homeless man or a spirit rabbit. An army of small toothy creatures with no eyes. A meandering plot with a strange ending and the possibility of sequels that never quite came together right. Sounds like a Del Toro movie already!

Del Toro was rumored to direct Episode VII, but a Star Wars sequel wouldn’t let him unleash his potential. He needs his own corner of the Star Wars Universe. So imagine Guillermo del Toro presents… Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.

He could take inspiration from the comics, the games, the books, the MMO, using characters and designs to create a stunning epic. Think of the crazy new alien races, the insane Sith designs, the fantastical creatures… Giant monsters will abound, from rancors to krayt dragons to a climactic attack by a zillo beast. Long before the sith retreated into the shadows, we will be able to see armies of Jedi and Sith going at it, with incredibly elaborate stunts and lightsaber duel choreography. Star Wars, all set thousands of years from the story that we know. It’s like giving him a blank slate, and an entire hardware store of tools to use on it. The ancient setting will allow del Toro to go wild with intricate and archaic machinery, and the Force allows for del Toro to mix science fiction and the supernatural according to his vision.

Okay, sure he's done Hellboy, and sure he's hoping to do Justice League Dark, but this is different: Marvel's Legion of Monsters includes all the classic monsters with distinct Marvel twists: The Living Mummy, the Living Vampire, the Werewolf by Night (who one assumes must also be living) and, of course, Manphibian (Who you might ask? Well, of course you would.) - but that's not all! They are led by the 18-year-old daughter of an 8000 year old monster-hunter, they have regular run-ins with both Dracula and Frankenstein's Monster, and they protect/ally with hundreds of Marvel's 1950s giant monster menaces!

Think about it, imagine if the bad guys from the monster squad were on a team of heroes led by Buffy and with all the Kaiju you could dream up at their beck and call? And they fight Dracula!

The casting kind of takes care of itself:

Doug Jones: the Living Mummy (in costume) and the Manphibian (motion capture)

Ron Perlman: Werewolf by Night (just seems right)

Robert Pattinson: Morbius the Living Vampire (no really, you don't need much acting range for this one, and to have him do the entire performance in Twilight Zone-eque pig-nose would be perfect)

Chloe Moretz: Elisa Bloodstone (because what isn't that girl in these days?)

Idris Elba: Frankenstein's Monster (you know he could act the hell out of that)

Steve Buscemi: Dracula (I don't know why, it just seems right)

Through in some Googam, Gorgilla, Grottu and other Marvel Monsters not starting with G, and you'd have a real winner.

No joke, this is the first real "no brainer" contest entry for me since I've commented on TR:

I'd have del Toro do a sequel to Night Breed.

Bring back Cronenberg, pay off Barker, bring in whomever you can from the original cast. Let him go nuts on designing New Midian. Then bring in some horror luminaries (Englund, Campbell, and sure, Ted Raimi can get torn apart by one of the Midianites) but be sure to bring back Doug Bradley.

How great would it be if he teamed up with Mike Allred and made a Madman movie. He's tackled the indie-comic realm with Hellboy, and Madmen is zany and off-kilter enough with enough background to make a pretty neat and fun flick.

I'd like to see him do a Dresden Files movie. He can certainly pull off the strange and otherwordly quality that often exists there, and he he has created good monsters before. There's room enough in the lore for it to be something set apart from the books, but I could just as easily trust him, I think, to start off with a movie of Storm Front.

For casting, I'd like to see:Harry Dresden: Brandon Routh. We've seen him pull off a supernatural detective before. Scruff him up a bit, give him a duster, and we're good.Karrin Murphy: Katee Sackhoff. Certainly tough enough to pull of the cop role.Thomas Raith: Not to run in a Superman theme, but Henry Cavill. Good looking, and decently tall with dark hair. Really bring in the female viewers.

Michael Carpenter: Nathan Fillion. Part obligatory nerd casting, but he's also got a solid build, and he knows how to play the good-natured family man, drop the reactionary one-liners to Dresden, and be filled with righeous anger.

Bob the Skull: David Hyde Pierce. He'd be great rattling off the various magical rules and laws, and I would just be incredibly amused hearing him go on about sex as Bob does.

"Gentleman" John Marcone: Eric Roberts. I think he has a great look for the role, and he well does the criminal role well.

I loved Megas, and I'd love it back in any form. Megas XLR was good fun, big action-y fights, and rule of cool, these days where there's serious heroes and serious consequences, it'd be a breath of fresh air.

As producer, I would leave them mostly alone with the casting and script, but I would have 2 demands, References of other famous mechs in the movie (Gurren Lagann, MegaZords, and others) and to Have Bruce Campbell, either as a cameo, or as magnanimous

With DC continually dropping the ball on a Justice League movie wouldn't it be awesome if Marvel beat them to it with a Squadron Supreme movie, and who better to tackle this cast of characters than Mr. del Torro?

PG or R rated retell of the Little Mermaid, with some Romeo and Juliet thrown in, where the merfolk and humans are on the verge of war. The merfolk command a horde of submarine beasts (maybe even some kaiju?) and have some nasty wizards on their side. Ursula is one of those wizards and plots to take advantage and usurp the throne during the conflict. Making Ariel human is part of her ploy. Eric is the prince and also the commander of the human fleet. The humans have come up with some underwater weapons, such as underwater mines, explosive charges and maybe even a steam-powered submarine, to even the odds.

50 years after the defeat of the aliens, an elderly General Becket uses a new generation of Jaegers after horrifying aliens begin to surface. After some research, Becket meets the Miskatonic University's finest professors who explain the new eldritch horror is brought on by the hillbilly sorceror Whateleys. Their inbred magic has awakened a host of Elder Things and Great Old Ones, and Cthulhu may be the biggest menace of all! Luckily, they have found the decendant granddaughter of Randolph Carter, Amelia Carter, who combines her family's power to travel the Dreamlands with Drifting to save of the human race!

Guillermo del Toro presents: The Vision of Escaflowne. It would highlight all of the director's strengths. His epic makeup and creature feature look would make the different animal race humanoid creatures look believable. The dragons would look fantastic. The series mechs the Guymelefs would look impressive and the mech action would flow as fluidly and full of detail just like they did in pacific rim, which put the mech combat we saw in Transformer to shame. The world of Gaea would be a vibrant world filled with the same type of particulars we saw him do in Pan's Labyrinth.

While I wouldn't mind seeing any of these horror / sci-fi / fantasy adaptations...what I really crave is del Toro movie with his version's of Guybrush, LeChuck, and Murray. And if there is one person that I think can translate the awesomeness of combining useless objects together to solve a problem during a movie, then it is del Toro.

From a fan who got his hopes up for Swamp Thing in JLDark, this is my wildest fantasy:

The Green, the central life-force and consciousness of Earth's plant life, and the Red, the flowing stream that connects all its creatures. Both the Red and The Green have selected avatars, guardians selected from the race of man to serve as protectors. Swamp Thing and Animal Man.

But there is a third force in the balance, on required for the perfect harmony: The Rot. Without decay, growth and rebirth cannot take place, and so the Rot also selected an avatar. But now together, they are overthrowing the balance, forcing Rot where it shouldn't be. Choking the out of everything it touches. It festers, and through the link in the avatar they begin to create Rotworld.

And that's all he would take from the comic. A crossover in this fashion is brilliant, but the tedious, repetitive checklist of DC heroes taken over by the Rot would be removed. Del Toro would simply stick to the horror elements. His knack for avoiding all the wrong tropes while finding the right ones to flip on their face would be a key element in telling this tale.

Set in alternative version of World War I. Half of the world are Clankers (steampunk style mechs) and the outher half are Darwinists (fabricated animals). With all the crazy animals that the Darwinists use Del Toro could let is imagination go crazy. With the way that the Golden Army looked and moved I think he could rock the steampunk mechs.

Guillermo del Toro's "Voltron." That should be all that needs to be said, but I'll keep going anyway.

On the war-ravaged planet Arus, a sell-sword named Keith finds the key to the long-dormant "Black Lion," athe only force capable of fighting back against the constant Robeast attacks sent by the evil King Zarkon. Courted by both Arus's princess Allura and Zarkon's beautiful witch Haggar, Keith plays both sides against the other to amass as great a fortune as he can before he gets the hell out of dodge. But when Haggar's Jealous lover and Zarkon's son, Prince Lotor, piss him off, Keith joins up with the Allura's hand-picked Voltron force to fight a shitload of robeasts for the next three hours. When Sven inevtiably gets his dumb ass killed, Allura jumps intro his seat and Voltron can finally be formed for the huge-ass climactic battle. (which, itself, is about four hours long.)

Zarkon-- Samuel Muthafuckin Jackson, because however GDT decides to make Zarkon look, ittle be awesome that way

After the amazing live action commericals, its something that just needs to be done. And it wasn't until Halo 3 that these didnt come along so im thinking we would all like to see what it would look like full length and starting from the first game. It would be a trilogy and maybe have ODST and Reach as a spin off series on tv. My vision would have del toro team up with Genndy Tartakovsky and create something similar in the style of the Clone War series done in 2003.

I like the score of Halo (who doesnt) but id like to hear what hans zimmer or James Newton Howard.

I've been working on a spec script adapting the "Aliens Vs. Predators" comic "Eternal", and GdT would make an awesome director for it. My version makes it simply a "Predator" film, since the Xenomorphs basically do nothing in the original comic and because the "AVP" film license is sort of toxic at the moment.

If you've never read "Eternal", do it NOW. It's by Ian Edginton with art by Alex Maleev, and you can find it in the first AVP omnibus if you can't find the out of print individual trade. It takes place in the near-future with a hot reporter who discovers a madman trying to capture Predators for his own reason. It brings in the craziest element of Predator lore I've ever seen: if you eat Predator flesh, you become immortal. (Of course, the reason we've never known this in other comics is because no one thinks to stop and eat a dead Predator; they're usually on the run from either other Predators or Xenomorphs.)

"Predator: Eternal" would star Jennifer Lawrence as Becka McBride, Daniel Dae Kim (overdubbed with James Wong's voice) as Gideon Suhn Lee, Ron Perlman as Becka's snarky producer who gets sucked into the whole thing along with her (a character not in the book, but Perlman had to get in there somehow), Doug Jones as at least one of the Predators, and Peter Cullen as the voice of the Predators.

I remember reading about a He-Man series that never happened. He-Man is framed for the murders of the Sorceress, King Randor, Prince Adam, and Man-At-Arms.Teela is made the new Sorceress and casts He-Man, Trapjaw, and Evilyn out of the kingdom to fend for themselves. Somewhere in all this the sword is broken and He-Man can't return to his Adam state and show Teela who he really is. The story is focused on He-Man working together with the other castouts to reforge the sword so he can re-enter the kingdom, meanwhile Skeletor has gained Teela's trust and is the new captain of the gaurd quietly plotting taking over the now empty throne. Now ideally a first He-Man movie setting all this up would already exist, but I'd want Del Toro for the sequel (or both).

- Golden dragon hatching, THREAD falling, golden dragon blooding a kill for a mating flight, the Weyrs, what else should be in the movie? maybe the original landing, The Masterharper, maybe a White Dragon

I would like Guillermo del Toro to direct an animated DC/Marvel.crossover. It would feature Darkseid and Thanos as the main villains,but there are two things needed: The Avengers and the Justice League.I'm have to admit that i'm a bit sketchy on plot at this point,but if done right,Mr.del Toro can create a masterpiece!

Here is the reasoning behind this (besides having Ron Perlman kicking ass):

Del
Toro is a big fan of Andrzej Zulawski, and just like in Zulawski´s most
famous work Possession (even Samael takes a few styling cues from
Squidboy), Knight of Vengence deals with a family breaking apart in an
epic manner. Combine this with GDT´s fixation with family dynamics and
you have a recipe for soul crunching awesomeness.

Eh. The New 52 is okay. Though the proposed "JL Dark" movie (and I rather hate that moniker but sadly tying it to Justice League might be the only think that gives it a chance) was supposedly based on an older Swamp Thing tale. I would rather see a classic story like that adapted over any of the New 52 stuff, as much as I do like Snyder and Lemire. Then again, didn't both of them leave those books and now DC has some random people on them?

@TheXenos Honestly the concept of tying Red and Green together is the only worthwhile thing New 52 has done so far. The actual story-telling was sub par, and Swamp Thing has improved since Snyder left. Charles Soule is the new dude, and he's the shit. Lemire is still on Animal Man, but taking him out of Rotworld was the best thing that happened to the title.

@Regular_Stormy @doug.glassman You have no idea how thrilled I am that they're doing this. I've been scouring the Dark Horse solicits for months with no new Aliens or Predator projects... and now we get four! Hopefully we'll get some more art announcements soon.

Also, quick correction: I meant James Hong's voice, not "Wong". I have nothing against Daniel Dae Kim with that combo casting choice; it's just that Hong's voice has the timbre of a man who's lived for centuries, and it coming out of a younger man would sound so creepy.
